inRant: Chain snapped mid-ride and took my derailleur with it
And if you really want to keep it tidy, try an old sock. Cut the toe off and slide the chain in there. Keeps everything contained and you can just toss it in the wash after a ride.

inVent: Wrong mortar mix on a basement wall in St. Louis
Oh come on, Type N is fine for a basement wall in most situations if it's done right. The whole "Type N is only for interior" thing is way overblown. I've been doing masonry in this area for 15 years and I've seen Type N hold up just fine in all sorts of basements including wet ones. The real problem is usually the drainage and waterproofing on the outside, not the mortar itself. Type S is stronger but it's way harder to work with and you get a worse bond if the mason isn't careful. If the wall is built properly with good drainage and a vapor barrier, Type N will outlast the house.

inBlew my mind air frying frozen chicken takes exactly 12 minutes less than the bag says
Take it easy, it's really not THAT serious. I looked up the numbers myself and yeah, there's a difference but 12 minutes is if you're cooking from frozen AND following their EXTRA cautious guidelines for some special recipe. Most people just follow the bag directions and it's fine. The nutrition stuff is probably just a CYA move by their legal team anyway. You think they're gonna lose sleep over a minute or two on some chicken tenders? Nah, eat your tenders and move on with your life.
